Currently developing a Windows Phone 8 application in pure C++/Direct3D. We now need to access the Device Manufacturer name but it seems to only be available under C# which, according to my research is not accessible from this type of application.
This page lists some of the calls I would like to use: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/microsoft.phone.info.devicestatus(v=vs.105).aspx.
// If only I could call this line from C++
DeviceStatus.DeviceManufacturer;
Is there anyway to get this information without having to refactor the app as a XAML/C++ hybrid application which allows the base app to be C#.
